Well depends on personal usage... if u wanna have bigger one then buy Xperia SP, skip S3 and others u mention there...
Bought 1 for my gf not long after the launch, no problem on laggy issue... and the speed and UI smoothness is one of the best for dual core device...
HuaWei chipset is not that fast...
S3 is having a lot of issues, Google for common S3 issue...
Nexus4 also not bad but not worth the money u paying...
Sony Xperia SP is around RM1.1k... so suits ur standard...

Rooted my phone but after factory reset become unrooted.
Using method as shared by Buya_92.
Anyway re-root & using link2sd method, my phone storage increased according to my allocation.
No more worries of storage full   

i set default write disk to external, i also installed papago and it's working fine with external storage, what's your papago version?

System setting, all setting, storage, select external, restart, done

I use customized setting for power management

After you installed link2sd, link it to the partition created (ext 2 / ext 4 / fat), then restart.
Open link2sd again, use multi-select in settings, then select all & click action, in action menu, select create link, just press OK.
It will move all selected apps to 2nd partition.
Go to settings & select autolink , just tick on all the options.
That's it, the next time you install any apps, it will automatically store in the 2nd partition.
You will notice that even though many apps are installed, the internal memory still remain as though no new apps are added.

I'm using EXT 2 but if you ask me any different, sorry I don't know
